Stephen's Songs Of The Damned - Rank and File #1 (153 points) - "Praying for Time"

And it's hard to love

There's so much to hate

Hanging on to hope

When there is no hope to speak of

And the wounded skies above

Say it's much, too much, too late

Well, maybe we should all be praying for time

George Michael

First steps on this journey down the nostalgia trail, barely finished in time for the deadline!  

When planning my monthly entries, I was trying to remain conscious of my glacial painting cadence - things are wildly busy at work after the start of the new year, as well, which wipes me out even when I do have freetime...I was able to get an hour or so a day in on most days this month, even with all that, but I really had to cram this weekend to get it all to a point where I can consider it 'done.'  

So here they are, the second half of a lasgun thicket (the first was already underway before the Challenge started), seven Ulthwe' Guardians led by the iconic Guardian hero with chainsword held high (a recent and extremely exciting find in a used miniature section of a FLGS in my area).  

They are accompanied by a fearsome Distort Cannon on Anti-Grav Platform manned by a Guardian gunner and crewman.

7 Guardians w/ Lasguns - 77 points

1 Guardian w/ Shuriken Pistol and Chainsword - 16 points

1 Distort Cannon on Anti-Grav Platform and Crew - 60 points (incl. 1x Shuriken Catapult)

153 points for January 2022

Next month is a shorter month, so I am using that for my Wild Card, which is 'just' a Vyper, a classic kit that I feel has aged well - I really like them and wish they were a better choice on the tabletop than they have been for quite some time (here's to a remedy in the new codex!).  Hopefully this will give me some time to get a head start on Rank and File #2, more Guardians, this time with shuriken catapults, and another Distort Cannon.
